Elmo's Secret

Vero and Elmo's relationship is getting romantic, Elmo always takes Vero to his workplace. Meanwhile Bima is getting crazy work, because that is the only way that can be done to be able to forget Vero, and the goal is to immediately make a private clinic remain a top priority, he said, moreover, his name as a figure of an intelligent doctor and expert in his field is no stranger to the world of medicine.

This afternoon after Maghrib Elmo drove Vero to a clothing store. Elmo watched Vero pick a boss in the store while sitting in a long chair in the corner of the room. Suddenly his eyes fell on a girl who had just entered the store. Seen from top to bottom, his robe that wrapped his body up to the ankles, as well as the hijab that covered his head, looks graceful in Elmo's eyes. He imagined if his lover who wore the clothes would look more beautiful than now, Elmo with a smile of his own smile imagined it.

Elmo did not know that Vero was beside him, and saw him watching the woman.

" El you're interested in that woman, aren't you?" Vero said arrived.

" Eh Ve, have you been here?"

" It's nice, and it's pretty obvious to see you smiling at your own smile when you see the woman who just walked in, why is it beautiful?"

" beautiful? you're prettier Ve."

" Why then does it seem like you haven't turned your face away from him?"

" I just imagine you'd look prettier in that outfit, look at her Ve."

Vero then watched the woman.

" It is true that the woman is very graceful and elegant, even without having to wear revealing clothes, but that does not reduce her beauty. Unlike how I look now ", Vero said inwardly.

" You like it when I wear it like that El?"

" I love it when you look at yourself, don't change your look just for me or anyone else's sake, but change it to your own liking Ve."

Elmo said, Vero was silent. Elmo was so sincere in love with her, whatever Vero thought was good was always Elmo's support.

" It's done, right? go home yuk Ve ", take Elmo.

Then Vero and Elmo went home to the boarding house.

Arriving at the Vero boarding house, Elmo immediately said goodbye.

Shortly thereafter, Dinda went into her room.

" Hey, how come you're dumb? cie cie new clothes."

" What the hell Din ngagetin me only" said Vero.

" Having bought new clothes instead of being tempted, look here" said Dinda while seizing the clothes that were being held by Vero.

" Wuihhh very good Ve, you must be very sexy to wear this shirt, let's try dong."

Vero remained silent.

" Din't just a thought that Elmo talked about in the boutique."

" What did he say? Until you daydream continue to gini."

" So she saw a woman wearing a headscarf, and she said I'd look prettier if I wore it that way."

" So in other words Elmo told you to wear a hijab?"

" No, Ve, he didn't say that. Even he forbade me if my change was due to someone else, and not based on my own consciousness."

" Then how?"

" I just realized that all this time I've always been indulging in my heart in front of many people, and maybe through the words of Elmo earlier the way Alloh rebuked me."

" Ve is right everything Elmo says, but you must be really sure first not only half, I'm afraid later in the middle of the road you will get bored and come back again like your original style. True said Elmo, change because of Allah and not because of him."

" Yes Din I know, so I need time to think and really convince myself of the decision."

" Pray Ve, ask for His guidance so that you do not doubt anymore."

" Yes, thank you."

Elmo was lying dreamily on his king-size bed, big enough to sleep on his own. He saw the whole room of his bed, then he walked out, through a carved door that was classic. The door made of teak wood was ordered directly by an engraver from Central Java, and everyone can certainly guess how expensive the door is. Elmo did love all the items of high artistic value, as well as the furniture in the house, mostly imported from all over the area when he happened to be visiting the area.

Elmo continued walking towards the side of his house, then sat down near a fish pond. Ponds containing various kinds of pet fish. He threw bait into the pond, but only a few fish ate it, because it was too late to feed the pet fish.

Then Elmo sat on the edge of the pool in a chair made of rattan.

He looked agitated as he continued to look at the fish that swam to and fro.

" What do I have to do to be frank with Vero who am I? I don't want Vero to misunderstand me, because all this time I've been lying to him, will he accept all my excuses ?" ask Elmo in your heart.

" But I can't keep keeping this secret, gradually everything will be discovered as well" Elmo said.

Then Elmo immediately walked inside again, he passed by a fairly large family room, his picture with both his parents and his sister was just a wayangnya when they were teenagers used to hang on a wall that separates the room with his room.

Elmo looked at the photo for a long time, a photo that reminded him of how happy his family was at that time, his mother's father who loved him very much, and always supported all his activities, but it was all gone, at this time the happiness changed a very lonely, especially in a house this big Elmo only accompanied by 2 housekeepers and a gardener. The house that his father had bought when they were not as successful today, and then rebuilt as he wanted, but thanks to the hard work of Elmo and his father, he was, the business that was built starting from zero was up and able to make Elmo become an abundant treasure. Before graduating from college when his father died, Elmo had died defending his business, but thanks to his hard work, the contractor business owned by his father had succeeded in having a branch where, where, and where, even more developed its wings by starting to play in the field of property, and also transportation.

Elmo is very confused at the moment, as he has never been honest with Ve who he really is. What Ve knew, Elmo was just an ordinary employee who only had a matic motorcycle that he often brought to bring Ve to work.

Elmo has always hidden his true identity, all for a reason, he does not want someone to know him just because of the treasures he has, he just wants to find people who are truly sincere to him, he said, not like her boyfriend before.
